Multi-Viewer Display Layout Configuration via Database Templates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Manual configuration of multi-viewer displays is labor-intensive and inefficient, especially when multiple displays with different requirements need to be adapted, as operators must manually adjust settings for each display based on specific content, user needs, and physical constraints.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a processing and presentation module, a display module, and a database that stores predefined configuration information for generating application-specific layouts, allowing for automated adaptation of display layouts based on input signals, user needs, and physical room requirements, reducing manual efforts and enabling centralized control and updates.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual configuration of display layouts is performed, then customization to specific content and user needs is achieved, but operator time and labor effort increase dramatically
Solution Approach 1:
The system stores multiple pre-configured display layout templates in advance, each optimized for different content types and user needs. When a configuration is needed, the system retrieves and applies the appropriate pre-defined template, eliminating the need for manual configuration and dramatically reducing operator time and labor effort.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple multi-viewer displays with different requirements are configured manually, then each display can be optimized for its specific application, but the complexity of configuration increases dramatically
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a universal configuration management approach where a single control system manages multiple multi-viewer displays with different requirements. The system stores multiple pre-configured templates and can automatically select and apply the appropriate template to each display based on its specific application, thereby simplifying the configuration process while maintaining application-specific optimization.
3Ease of manufacture
If pre-defined functional blocks are used for configuration, then the configuration process is standardized, but the ability to quickly adapt to changing circumstances is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements dynamic adaptability by storing multiple pre-configured templates that cover different scenarios and content types. When circumstances change, the system can dynamically switch between different pre-configured templates or generate new configurations by combining existing functional blocks, thereby maintaining both standardization and adaptability to changing requirements.

AI summary
The invention concerns a system (10) for configuring the graphical layout of at least one multi-viewer display, wherein the system (10) comprises at least one processing and presentation module (12) that is configured to receive at least one input signal, to process the at least one input signal, thereby generating at least one output signal depending on the at least one input signal, and to output the at least one output signal. The system (10) comprises at least one display module (18) that is connected with the processing and presentation module (12). The at least one display module (18) is configured to forward the at least one output signal to an output device (22). The system (10) comprises a data base (24) that is configured to store predefined information of at least one system setup. The predefined information comprises configuration information for the display module (18) and/or the processing and presentation module (12). The configuration information defines a desired application-specific layout of the at least one multi-viewer display. The system (10) comprises at least one interface (26) configured to connect the processing and presentation module (12) with the data base (24) such that the processing and presentation module (12) is enabled to access the data base (24), thereby retrieving the predefined information stored. The system (10) is configured to provide an application-specific display of the multi-viewer display since the display module (18) is configured to forward data associated with the at least one output signal in the application-specific layout based on the predefined information of the at least one system setup, thereby providing an application-specific display layout and an application-specific room design.
